Here’s some truth that might bruise your ego — but it will save you a lifetime of unnecessary pain, so you might just need to hear it. You will never launch your career like this. You might have gone through uni, taken courses, attending workshops… learning, learning, learning — but the truth is this: Knowledge isn’t power. Knowledge is potential power. Applied knowledge is power. Most people end up in careers they never studied for. Most sit back and wait for “the perfect time. ”Spoiler: that doesn’t exist. Most of you have motivation to start — but only a small minority have the discipline and consistency to finish. That is the separator. Most people will be in the exact same place this time next year. Most are victims of circumstance — a few become victors because they take action and own their goals. Let me be honest: no one is coming to save you. You have to do it yourself — alone, when no one is watching, when no one is clapping, when there’s no approval, praise, or certainty.That’s how winning is done: in silence, through raw action. I’m ranting today because too many people think that once they finish uni or a course, employers will magically line up to hire them. Guess what? That’s what everyone thinks. And if everyone does it — no one wants it - that's the reality of life. You become just another name in a pile of thousands… and in a world of fierce competition, you will get passed by someone less smart, less qualified, but far more prepared and willing to do what it takes. This is a Wednesday morning wake-up call for every person in this community who says they want to launch their career… but has done nothing different from everyone else. See the leaderboard in the community? They’ve secured opportunities most people will never touch. Why? Because they took action. If you want me to show you how to launch your career properly, complete the 7-day challenge and start your training. We’ll literally show you how to get it done — quickly and effectively.

Hi everyone! I’m Zubair. a Software Engineering graduate based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I’m passionate about cybersecurity especially areas like SOC analysis and threat intelligence. I love solving problems, learning new tools, and staying curious about how technology can be made safer for everyone. What drives me is the idea of building a career where I can continuously grow, take on real challenges, and contribute to something meaningful. Through this challenge, I’m hoping to sharpen my career direction, build confidence in my skills, and take actionable steps toward landing a role in cybersecurity. Looking forward to the journey and all the learning ahead!

Hi everyone, day 2 done!! Today I challenged myself to do a 20-minute workout. I was initially hesitant about doing this as I thought working out for 20 minutes would drain me completely. But then my mind told me that if I don't try to push myself out of my comfort zone, I would never know what my full potential is. No one in the world can help you more than you can help yourself. You are the one who can change your future. This is what I have learned from today's activity. None of us is perfect, but all of us can succeed in life if we keep pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and testing our potential. The most important thing to remember is that God only helps those who help themselves. So we should do our best, stay consistent, and trust God's plan! As for today's bonus community challenge: The one thing I've always been compromising on has been my physical health. I've always been so busy with studies and things, as a result, I never gave my health the attention it deserved. But now I have realized that, as @James Govey had said, to have a stable and successful career, it is very important that we balance all of the areas of life together. So I have decided that I will consistently work out every day, even if it is just for 15 minutes, because consistency and patience are the key to success!
